A case of pleuropulmonary blastoma (childhood variant of pulmonary blastoma) was examined using histological, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural and cytogenetic methods. The tumour consisted of undifferentiated 'blastematous' areas admixed with zones of rhabdomyoblastic and chondroid differentiation and fascicular areas. Desmin and S-100 protein immunoreactivity confirmed the myogenic and cartilaginous differentiation. Ultrastructurally only undifferentiated mesenchymal cells were present. The cytogenetic analysis revealed abnormalities of 2q. Involvement of 2q has also been described in hepatoblastoma and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Although further confirmation is needed, our cytogenetic findings in pleuropulmonary blastoma suggest common genetic mechanisms in some paediatric embryonal malignancies.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
